I want to use this someday
"The captain took a wife"
"We'll take care of each other-I'll knit."
"Now we have to be married, we have a family in the way."
Famous quote no one has mentioned:
"Bullet in the brain pan-squish."
I wonder if we can quote her various screaming scenes.
Not to be the bad guy all the time, but just doing something right in absentia of doing something smart. :) The correct text is:
SIMON
What?!!
RIVER:
Two by two?! Everyone a match, a mate, a doppel. I love you (not 'double', but 'doppel', as in 'doppelgänger').
And, I'm sorry, but that whole "Now we have to be married, we have a family in the way." is nowhere in that deleted scene.

Yes it is, when she stuffs that pillow in her shirt. Those aren't the exact words, but it's something like that.
Also,
"Noah's arc is a problem"
"we may experience some slight turbulence and then - explode."

Yeah, she says: "Now we have to be married, I'm in the family way." I guess I was being a bit petty about it. :) Shouldn't have said it's nowhere in the scene: it is, just not in that exact wording. Sometimes I go a little overboard. :)

Ah yes, good one...One of her quotes that pops into my head on a somewhat regular basis...Morbid and creepifying but pretty poignet when your job makes you want to rip your hair out.
The above quote is so horrific, because you can feel how her madness and her pain are getting too great even for her. (Her face takes on a weird, morbid look of ecstacy when she says "squish" that just tears my heart out.)
I also vote for her entire soliloquy to Jubal Early.
And from the end of BDM: "I do. But I like to hear you say it."
The relationship between River and Mal is poignantly summed up in that line, and I always felt that relationship was one of the most beautiful in the whole story.

They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky and they remember what they are.

I love it, everyone here loves River and the show and the movie. And everyone notices different thing. I have been through 45 post, smiling and warm in side. River is my favorite character of all time, actually. So it goes with out saying that every River quote is a pearl to me. The amazing thing is, my absolute favorite has not been mentioned yet. It is very small and out of context its not even great.
In the opening scene in the BDM:
Mal: "You know your role in all this, little one?
River:"Do you?"
The eye movement of Mal afterwards tops it off.
Also, it was the line that hooked me to ´verse. I am a Serenity then Firefly coaty

That opening scene is SO full of meaning. The haunted, incriminating, judging look Summer gives Nathan is what you call outstanding acting! No to mention Joss getting so much emotion and relationship from such a subtle glance.
I really wish Joss would hae included the comment about the rocks in the BDM, where River is looking over the side of the mule saying how "the rocks have no order, completely random."
It's in the deleted scenes. It shows the mania and intellgence of Summer's character while telling the aidience her brain is truly somewhere else.

I have always relished that line, but also feared it lost some meaning when the other line was removed - Simon: Do you understand what's going on? River: I'm the brains of the operation.

nope. when she said that the hair stood on the back of my neck too. but then that whole story 'verse is the best piece of action drama i've ever seen. every ep has those moments in abundance.
